Month: July 2017

The Instagram app has outdone many apps. Somehow, it has also gradually became a portfolio for many users. It made the unnoticed noticed.

As the growth of the Instagram photography community enlarges, many photographers are challenged to produce more creative works. This is taking a positive turn on the industry as many are aware of how the smartphone camera is an inadequate tool. While the smartphone camera is an amazing and convenient gear, there is so much a DSLR/Mirrorless can do that the smartphone camera can’t. Photography isn’t just a simple click of the button, there is so much that goes into that perfect shot! Lighting, Aperture, ISO, Angles, just to name a few. It takes skills, passion, patience, willingness to learn, and so much more!
